another city set on fire set on fire after there is an indictment that comes down for one police officer in the Brianna-Taylor shooting. The indictment really was not because of the shooting at Brianna-Taylor. It was because this officer fired wildly and hit an apartment wall, and so the idea was that he had misused his firearm. Now, as I've been talking about for a while, see, here on this show, we'd like to give you the facts of scenarios so you know what's coming. Probably a month ago, I went through the timeline of the Brianna Taylor killing, and I talked about the fact that while it was a tragedy, there was no lawbreaking, and it would be nearly impossible to make a case against any of the officers in Brianna Taylor's killing. That's specifically because they had a well-predicated warrant, a no-knock warrant for her apartment. The reason being that she was caught on tape, talking with her ex-boyfriend about being involved in drug trafficking, apparently, about using her apartment as some sort of pass-through where he could pick up his mail. And the cops had a no-knock warrant on her apartment. When they arrived, they apparently knocked despite the no-knock warrant. And then her boyfriend got out of bed and he didn't answer the door. He just apparently as he was going to answer the door, he didn't know who it was, even though they said they were the police. He didn't hear them say they were the police. And then they bust through the door, at which point he has a gun on him and he fires to the police. He hits one of the police officers. They fire back at him. And in the process of firing back at him, they killed Brianna Taylor, who was behind him. Okay, that is a tragedy. And it's a horrible tragedy. It does not mean a crime was committed. This was a well predicated, no knock warrant. Even in order to prove there was a crime that was committed, what you would have to prove is that not only was the warrant bad, the cops knew the warrant was bad, and they decided to serve it anyway. And then they decided that they were going to act in violent measures with a bad warrant in order to hurt Brianna Taylor. And you can't prove any of those elements. Lawyers have been saying this for a long time on the Brianna Taylor case. And not just me. I'm talking about people on the left who have studied this case recognized that there was almost no chance of bringing a prosecution in this case. Again, because the timeline just does not lend itself to a prosecution in this case because the cops didn't do

anything criminal here. Just because something bad happens doesn't mean that the bad thing that

happens involves violent lawbreaking. Bad things happen every day. That does not mean that the person

who was involved in the bad thing is to blame when you are talking about criminal liability.

Here's a brief timeline of what actually happened in the Brianna Taylor case. And see, here on the show, we like to talk about the facts of cases because it explains whether people's reactions are justified. I understand that in the media, everybody's reaction to any situation is justified just so long as it cuts against the narrative that America's good. If America is bad, your reaction is always justified. It doesn't matter if Brianna Taylor's officers, actually if the killers in the Brianna Taylor case, accidental killers in this case, if those people got off because they should get off. That doesn't matter. It is instead indicative of deeper American cruelty and racism. It doesn't matter if Michael Brown was shot justifiably. It does not matter. If Jacob Blake

was shot justifiably. It does not matter if Rayshard Brooks was shot justifiably. None of that

matters. The only thing that matters to people who are in the media, apparently, is the narrative

that America is bad, filled with racist cops. And every single law enforcement scenario that does not

end with a cop going to jail is more evidence that

America's cops are systemically racist and that America itself is shot through with 1619

style slavery-based racism. This is the take of the media. We don't do that here because it turns

out that you usually want to link facts with the underlying narrative. Facts don't care about

your narrative, you might say.

The facts are what the facts are.

Well, in this particular case, the facts demonstrate that the officers clearly should
